I believe the answer is:

site

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for position' is the definition.
(site is a kind of position)

'ties' is the wordplay.
'ties' can be anagrammed to 'SITE'.
But, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for site that I've seen before include "Building land" , "Locate - place" , "Location (of building, dig etc)" , "Locate, position" , "Situation (of a building)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
